Ooooh... ploooot <3
So aside from being silly fanservice, we get to see some more of Ryoko's powers, a new girl gets added to the mix, the villain makes his grand entrance, and Ryo-Ohki stops being cute for just long enough to remind us that it's actually a crazy powerful ship... that apparently has a taste for gun metal.
Just my two cents.

Best episode yet!

Mihoshi is win, my fav character.
Fanservice was nice.

Looks like our main villain is finally introduced, and somewhat of some more plot.

Only two episodes left, does this first OVA series have and ending, or does it just continue on to Ryo-Ohki 2?

Urahara Out!!

OH MY. Takei voice. ep 4.

Pros:

Plot: It is coming! THe introduction of new characters and a certain nightmare foretell the dark things to come. It does a wonderful job of foreboding.

Mihoshi: She's a goof but an enjoyable one. I really didn't think much of her from her first appearance but she grew on me. She's just so cute.

Fanservice: I blinked. Did not expect that much service from the nineties. Wow. Nice.

4/5. Good transition and now we get some action.


I go where I wanna go, even if its into Oppai.

And yet another new character joins the harem of Tenchi, namely Mihoshi. She seems to be the tsukkomi (airhead) of the 4 girls. It's hard to express my opinion of her at this point, since we have not yet seen her in action all that much yet.

The typical hot spring fanservice shows its colors again too, not that I mind, though (no sir, I certainly do not). Aeka and Ryouko quarreling with each other was nice to watch too. Oh Aeka, you're such a tsundere...

At the end of the episode, we finally get to see the villain of the show, called Kagato. At first glance, he seems to hold some potential. Can't wait to see what wicked powers he possesses.

Unto the next episode, with hopefully a lot more action (and fanservice, perhaps?).

I want us to look towards the future together." --- Yaya Hanatsu

Surprise, those OAVs seem to include a story !

For an onsen episode, it wasn't as boring as I expected it to be.
The galactic policewoman added to the mix might be useful now that a big villain appeared.

4/5

Did I see Spock in the first scene?

Ayeka and Sasami need popcorn, they were enjoying that water monster show.
Numbuh 3, you've got to get off the couch, you cannot sit in that tree house, girl you like Rainbow Monkeys so grab your little shit and then swing!

Hand tracks be tracking me to different doorways. In a maze, and I don't know what to do. Guaranteed though, Ima find the emeralds.

Fun episode! Though, I don't remember watching this on Toonami lol.

Mioshi has to be the funniest character in the anime because of how ditzy she is

While it is interesting to see a Mihoshi who is slightly more reliable (as her partner from Tenchi Universe is not here to bail her out), I felt that she should have met the gang earlier on in the episode. Also, it is amazing how little censorship existed back then (I still cannot fathom why they will draw a woman's nipples but never their pubic hair, that is just weird).

Coming back to this it feels very weird having Mihoshi on her own without Kiyone.
So much plot here lol
Did Kagato kill Spock? XD

Another day of collateral damage. And the space detective Mihoshi makes her appearance. Her face when she realized Ryouki is this creature.

Feel bad for the old lady. She's got a lot of work ahead of her. Maybe they have some tech to make the rebuild faster.

Didn't expect to see the onsen scenes uncensored. Must've been the 26 episode show that I saw on Toonami. Maybe I'll watch that after this.

Next episode we got the big bad Kagato showing up.

The classic episode is very funny, very lewd, action-packed, and foreboding. I love the monster design! When I was teenager, and I got the DVD, I certainly hit the rewind button on the PS2 controller a lot to see... uhh... the details in this episode. It was surprising to me that Toonami had edited it to add fake swimsuits when there were really none.
